Are the Yankees eyeing Lindor market before signing DJ?

He'd build the team and then hate it. He would shred his own players for sucking and start complaining about them, as if they were another person's choices and team. He would ridicule it and talk about he would build a much better team, if he had the chance.

: Truth.

I think they resign DJ and don't do much else and go into next season with basically the same team and hope for better health/results.

I absolutely would rather have Gleyber and DJ. Let me ask you a question, why do you want a hitter, who has a sub .200 BA with runners in scoring position, the last 2 seasons, rather than DJ, who is batting something like .370+ in that same category, during the same period with the yankees? If by some weird happenstance, the yankees end up with Lindor, I never want to hear a pro Lindor yankee fan on this forum, mention, how he doesn't hit in the clutch and is a rally killer.

I've said repeatedly that I think DJ is the better fit the next couple yrs, its after that it becomes a problem. When DJ is starting to decline Lindor will be hitting his prime.

Gleyber is not a good defensive SS his numbers last yr were close to Andujar at 3rd and Frazier in RF last yr bad. It also greatly effected his offense. In Gleyber we have an very good 2nd baseman with a superstar bat and the kid is only 23. Long term for the Yanks having Torres play at his peak levels is huge. If playing SS makes him a league average player like he was last yr vs the AS with alot of MVP votes in his future like we've seen the last couple yrs it would be stupid not to move him back.

80% or more of the rumors we have heard this winter about the Yanks have been about them looking for an upgrade at SS. We need another elite LHed bat and the best SS in baseball happens to be available at a big discount, seems like a solid fit for me.

I think DJ is absolutely a fantastic player and would love to have him back, that said if he demands a 5yr 120m plus deal I think Lindor make more sense for the next 5yrs and definitely beyond

How about lets be greedy and re-sign DJ and trade for lindor.

Heh.

Infield rotation between

Good
Lindor
Torres
DJ
Voit

Or maybe you can trade voit in a package to aquire a TORP. Put DJ at first where he should age well.

I know, just being silly.

I'm sold Slick, I'll start the thread, u call cash.
To me the ideal situation would be DJ @ 1st Torres @2nd Lindor *** and Gio @3rd. Then trade Voit in a package for a TORP.

To me Lindor is a top 10 player, is only 26 and is the best SS in baseball. I think if they get him and Judge never stays healthy enough to warrant the huge contract that he'll want it would make it much easier to walk away from Judge. I just see Lindor as a perfect addition to this team both short and long term.

The other thing with the CBA ending after next yr and the luxury tax expected to go way up I'd prefer to have a 1yr head start on signing Lindor.

I'm curious why everyone is so eager for another albatross contract, after Stanton. If Lindor was a younger version of DJ, i might be inclined to agree with ppl, but he's actually a lot closer to a javier baez or Didi Gregorius, and I'm sorry, but that's just a serious downgrade from DJ in the short term. Who cares about years 5-10 and beyond? Everyone on this team is only under control for 4 more years where they will be at their peak and that's the window that we should be most concerned with. Especially players like Voit, Urshela, Torres, Frazier and Judge (2 years). These are also Cole's prime years. Let's worry about 2025 in 2025.

Why would playing SS make Gleyber league average? Was Gleyber a league average hitter in 2019 when he played SS? As I told posada, Gleyber hasn't played SS full time since 2016, when he was 19. With TJ surgery, being brought up when he was 21 and with the yankees moving him to second base, when has Gleyber truly had the chance to learn SS for one whole season? Many kids his age are still in AA. Is it any wonder he's not a polished defensive wizard yet, at more difficult position than second? I'll live with the growing pains, just like i did with Frazier when he was learning. I found it hard to believe he would not improve. Now he's gold glove caliber. Lindor would be an awful use of resources. Just give DJ the money and move on, and focus on pitching.
